Maintenance

7.1

General Information

The Single Arm Pantograph  WBL 85 requires less maintenance.  At the regular
maintenance intervals of the vehicles, the following procedures are recommended:

During each inspection (max. 10000 km):

Inspection of carbon strips (breaks, wear).

Inspction of horns.

Check proper function of signalhorn and contact force monitoring system.

Every year:

Visual inspection of screws and shunts.

Visual inspection of cable of raising mechanism, if needed, grease with 
TOP 2000 of company AGIP Schmiertechnik.

Inspection upward force, adjust, if necessary.

Inspection easy motion of bearings, pan head springs, etc. 

Pneumatic equipment for leakages.

After max. 3 years:

Grease the ends of the tow-rope with TOP 2000 of AGIP Schmiertechnik.

Replace shunts.

After every 8 to 10 years and on any main inspection
(max. after 2000000 km / 1250000 miles):

Change all ball bearing.

Inspect for corrosion, if necessary replace coaling.

Change rubber bumpers on base frame.

Change leaf springs of pan head.

Change cable of raising mechanism.

Inspect/change of valve control unit.

Change plain bearings.

Replace all air tubes.

Inspect/replace air bellow drive.

Replace 3/2-way monitoring valve on pan head.
